| Concept | 大岩を割り、その割れ目を合わせてもと通りに復元することによって石（素材）のもつ独特の力、時間や歴史の足跡を表現してきた作家である。この作品は切り出されたままの大岩と一方ではそれを割って加工し崩壊していく途中の二種類の岩の様態を対比的に見せながら、岩自体の秘めたる主張を表現しようと目論んでいる。 The sculptor has been presenting the unique power of stones (material), and the traces of time and history embedded in them, by breaking huge rocks and then putting the pieces together to restore the original shapes. In this work, he showcases the two states of the rock as in its freshly cut-out, original state, and as in a process of being broken and crumbling apart. By contrasting the two states, the sculptor attempts to express the tacit message within the rock. |
